Mutton Rogan Josh is a favourite with avid meat eaters. Now, this recipe is different from the authentic Kashmiri Rogan Josh which doesn’t use any onions, ginger or garlic. Even in Kashmir, Rogan Josh is prepared differently by Kashmiri Pandits and Kashmiri Muslims. Here, I have replicated the recipe used by many renowned chefs in India. My recipe uses onions, ginger and garlic, like they do in most of the restaurants. But, I had always thought that since Rogan Josh sounded so fancy, the process of cooking it must be tedious or difficult. Believe me, it is neither! So read on to see how the most delicious Mutton Rogan Josh is cooked…

Instructions

In a kadhai, heat the mustard oil and add the whole spices.
Once they start spluttering, add the onions and fry till light brown. Take care not to burn the onions or the taste gets bitter.
Add in the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute just till the raw smell of the paste goes away.
Now put in the mutton pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes till the mutton pieces turn slightly brown.
Pour in enough water/mutton stock to cook the mutton in.
Add salt to taste. Cover and cook for around 20 minutes till the mutton is almost cooked.
Now is the time to add in the kashmiri chilli powder, hing, saunf powder, ginger powder. Mix all these in a little water and add them to the gravy.
Beat the curd to a smooth consistency and add this too.
Mix well, cover and cook until the fat starts separating, and you can see a nice sheen to the gravy. This will take around 10 minutes or so.
Serve hot with rice, rotis or plain paranthas, like I did. Enjoy!
